south of Main St. and West of Monroe St. from residential to B3 with a stipulation for library use only. The reason for that is because that is the appropriate zoning for a library of that size of building. They will be requesting the Town Council to vacate the alley between the two properties on west and north. The library is fully aware that they will have utilities to relocate and they might even have to give back some easements. Commissioner Bryant asked if the stipulations would hold up on the property. Mr. Holloway stated that up until two years ago the Indiana statute would not allow stipulations and conditions on zoning. Then the state changed the statute to allow restrictions and conditions on zoning and Mr. Currens has allowed this board to do that the last two years. They are enforceable and they go with the land, 100 years from now it would still be a library or they come to this board or the zoning body and ask for it to be lifted. Commissioner Bruner said his only concern was they do not have the storage problem they have now. Commissioner McGuire stated that he is all for the library expansion, but it seems like we will have another situation if come before the Town Council for the vacating of the alley and the council does not pass the vacating of the alley. The board would not want a zoning of B-3 on that side of the Main Street if they don't get access to build the library there. Mr. Holloway said the library would agree to the stipulation of the rezone on the vacating of the alley. Motion to send a favorable recommendation to the Mooresville Town Council to approve the rezone of lots 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 and a large meets and bounds property south of Main Street and West of Monroe Street known as the Jessup property from residential to B-3 with two stipulation, one the Town Council approve the vacating of the alley and the rezone is for library use only, was made by Commissioner McGuire, second by Commissioner Corbin. Motion carried 7-0. Mr. Beikman reported he had issued 16 permits and had 57 inspections. Next Commissioner Crouch asked about the person on the north side of State Road 144 still selling car. He said he had not had a report back. Mr. Beikman said that the meeting before last it was not a conforming use and there are two different houses there, one on each side, and now are we going down State Road 144 an tag everyone who is selling cars. Mr. Crouch said he has about seven or eight cars out there. Mr. Beikman asked if they were there now and Mr. Crouch said they were. Mr. Young said we should continue to monitor the situation and if it gets out of control, maybe they could address it then. Commissioner McGuire gave all the board member present copies of the Martinsville Zoning requirement and new copies of the Comprehensive Plan. He would like for everyone to look over the Martinsville copy and Mooresville copy of zoning restrictions and look at the layout. Mr. Young said the theirs was a much better format and start marking them up as to what changes they would like made. There being no further business a motion to adjourn was made by Commissioner Bruner, second by Commissioner Corbin. Motion carried 7-0.
